The Witcher 3 has a number of quests about fist-fighting. You fight your way up to the top opponents, beat them, then crown yourself champion of champions.
Fist-fighting in The Witcher 3 is fairly simple, if you keep your cool. And there’s a definite rhythm to it too.
Here are our tips for winning punch-ups in The Witcher 3:
The famous: punch twice, back off, immediately punch twice again – repeat to fade usually works quite well.
It helps during fistfights to use dodge to move left and right too, or to block by holding down the right mouse button.
In some fights it’s very easy to get caught out and be down to zero health within three or four hits. If you keep punching relentlessly that’ll get you knocked-out too.
Use food items if you need to heal.
You can’t use magic although if you have Protection Runewords casting a Quen shield for you during combat then that will still work.
The key to winning fistfights is to be smart and nimble on your feet, and get punches in with extreme prejudice. You can, of course, “toy” with your opponent if you like, and are good enough. Dodge and punch, and some skill, can run rings around opponents.
